5 YR OLD B ROLL ON FOX? btb SAYS MOLO COCK ONLY BURNED FEET OF PROTESTOR, NOT BLDG? 10 25
AN PP 11 25
When President Donald Trump told reporters on Sept. 5 he’d started looking at sending the National Guard to Portland, Oregon, he said it was because of something he saw on television.
He said the city was being destroyed by paid agitators. “What they’ve done to that place, it’s like living in hell,” he said, a comment that became an internet meme as some Portland residents juxtaposed it with tranquil images of the city.
Trump didn’t say which channel he watched; he said at one point he saw something “today” and at another “last night.”
The evening before, on Sept. 4, Fox News aired a two-and-a-half-minute segment spotlighting protests outside a federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office in Portland. Similar footage aired the morning of Trump’s remarks. The president went on to announce Sept. 27 on Truth Social that he would send troops, saying that he was “authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”
He later said he’d told Oregon’s governor, Tina Kotek, that “unless they’re playing false tapes, this looked like World War II. Your place is burning down.”
ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed more than 700 video clips posted to social media by protesters, counterprotesters and others in the three months preceding the Sept. 4 broadcast.
The review found that the news network repeatedly provided a misleading picture of what was happening in Portland.
As The Guardian and The Oregonian/OregonLive have reported, Fox News on Sept. 4 used footage from the 2020 protests after the police killing of George Floyd and said it was from 2025. We found two clear cases from that night as well as one that seemed to match a scene filmed at a key site of the 2020 protests. Fox also mislabeled two other dates of actions shown on screen, and one broadcast implied that a protest from elsewhere was happening in Portland.
Fox News chyrons about Portland the week of Trump’s remarks carried phrases like “violent demonstrators,” “protesters riot,” “anti-I.C.E. Portland rioters” and “war-like protests.” One host said protesters were attacking federal officers.
This portrayal of protesters as routinely instigating violence or rioting was also misleading.
As ProPublica reported last week, most clashes between protesters and police before the Fox News segment did not result in any criminal charges or arrests alleging protesters committed violence. What’s more, based on news releases from federal and local authorities, charges and arrests for assault, arson or destruction of property were almost entirely confined to a period that ended the night of July 4.
Videos after that date captured numerous images of federal officers forcefully moving in on protesters without corresponding criminal charges alleging protester violence.
A spokesperson for Fox News did not respond to ProPublica’s requests for comment.
The Department of Homeland Security did not answer requests to comment on its officers’ tactics.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said of action on the ground in Portland: “This isn’t a peaceful protest that’s under control, like many on the left have claimed, it’s radical violence. President Trump is taking lawful action to protect federal law enforcement officers and address the out-of-control violence that local residents have complained about and Democrat leaders have failed to stop.”
Here’s how Fox News’ coverage of the Portland story was misleading.
Fox News Said It Was 2025. It Wasn’t.
Protests in 2020 in the wake of Floyd’s murder by a police officer attracted large, sometimes violent crowds to Portland — along with a federal law enforcement response authorized by Trump.
The protests outside the ICE facility have typically been far smaller. Still, Fox spliced footage from 2020 into its coverage this year and claimed it was from 2025.
The Fox News correspondent in the segment that aired the night Trump was watching TV said: “On this night in late June, police used tear gas.”
The accompanying image appears to be not from the ICE building but from the federal courthouse in downtown Portland, more than a mile away. A nearly identical scene was shown in a
five years earlier. Footage that aired Sept. 4, shot at a slightly different angle, blurs out spots where graffiti was visible on the building in Fox’s July 2020 broadcast.
Almost immediately after showing the courthouse scene, the segment cuts to another image as the correspondent says, “federal police used tear gas and flashbangs.”
On screen at that moment is a U.S. Navy veteran who was pepper-sprayed and repeatedly struck with a baton. But it didn’t happen in September 2025. The video was posted on social media on July 18, 2020.
The Fox News segment about the ICE protests soon shows an American flag burning.
That image was posted on social media July 16, 2020.
The location: the base of a downtown Portland statue more than a mile away from the ICE building where protests are happening in 2025.
On the webpage for its Sept. 4 video segment, Fox News added an editor’s note at least two weeks later: “This video contains footage from protests in Portland in 2020 and 2025.”
“Still Going On”
After mislabeling 2020 events as 2025, Fox’s Sept. 4 evening broadcast explicitly drew a connection between the two periods.
“The protest chaos, which began with riots aimed at social justice in 2020, has severely damaged Portland’s reputation,” the correspondent said.
The dramatic footage at this moment shows fires in the street and was broadcast on Fox on Aug. 19, 2020, the day after a crowd smashed through windows and set items on fire in the headquarters for the government of Multnomah County, where Portland is located.
We don’t know for certain which broadcast got Trump thinking about Portland. The White House did not respond to questions about what Trump watched. But the president said on Sept. 5 that what he’d seen about Portland on TV was “unbelievable.”
“I didn’t know that was still going on,” he said. “This has been going on for years.”
The reality: Portland’s 2020 social justice protests, which resulted in hundreds of arrests and continued for months, turned sporadic by early 2021. Protests in years since have led to occasional property damage, but nothing in Portland has matched the scale of events that followed Floyd’s death.
Portland police Chief Bob Day said at a Sept. 29 press conference that the city had been inaccurately portrayed through the lens of the protests in 2020 and 2021.
“What’s actually happening, and the response we’re seeing both from Portlanders and from the Portland Police Bureau,” Day said, “is not in line with that national narrative. And it is frustrating.”
A Riot That Wasn’t
In a Sept. 2 segment featuring the video from a day earlier, anchor Bill Hemmer said it shows “riots raging.” Anchor Trace Gallagher teased another Sept. 2 news segment by once again showing the video, saying, “It’s a riot outside a Portland ICE facility.”
The Sept. 4 segment shows Julie Parrish, an attorney for a neighbor of the ICE facility, accusing Portland police of saying, “Meh, we’re just gonna let violent rioters do this for 80 straight nights.”
The physical behavior of protesters that was captured on the video is not violent. The camera instead shows federal agents advancing on them. In the moments before officers tossed munitions into the crowd, videos show, one protester was blowing bubbles. The Portland police did not declare a riot, a legal designation that allows for an elevated police use of force. (They declared a riot just once, a police spokesperson said, on June 14.)
The Sept. 1 protest had “little to no energy,” according to an internal Portland police summary, before federal officers dispersed the crowd to collect a prop guillotine that had been brought. Katie Daviscourt, a Trump-aligned commentator who filmed the clips, noted on X that protesters were having dance parties and that their main problems were “not leaving restricted areas, burning a flag, and possessing a deadly object (guillotine).”
ProPublica found a similar pattern for the three months before Fox’s Sept. 4 broadcast: clashes that on most days and nights had no criminal allegations of protester violence to explain them.
After dozens of arrests and charges were announced in June through July 4, federal prosecutors accused just three people of crimes at the ICE building in the roughly two months leading up to Fox’s Sept. 4 broadcast.
During that same two-month time frame, ProPublica’s review found numerous instances of police using force: videos from more than 20 days or nights with federal officers grabbing, shoving, pepper-spraying, tackling, firing on or using other munitions on protesters.
No local arrests or federal criminal charges were announced on these days or nights, and only a handful of dates corresponded with incidents of protester aggression later asserted by federal authorities in their legal case for sending troops.
Asked whether Fox News accurately represented her footage, Daviscourt said: “I stand by my four months of accurate reporting.”
Parrish told ProPublica she had collected evidence that “shows ongoing and persistent activity” outside the facility that under statute and police directive “would be considered riotous, unlawful assembly and/or disorderly conduct.” She declined to share this evidence, saying it was privileged as part of her client’s file.
Her lawsuit on behalf of a neighbor living near the ICE facility, which sought to require police to enforce Portland’s noise ordinance, was dismissed.
The Reappearing Neighbor
A Sept. 5 “Fox & Friends” segment showed a neighbor from an apartment building confronting protesters over noise, shouting at protesters: “Turn that (bleep) down, it’s midnight! … We the people need sleep!”
Fox said it happened Tuesday, which would have been Sept. 2. Co-host Ainsley Earhardt said, “This has been going on for months now, but a lot of this since Labor Day,” as the video shown on screen sandwiches footage of the neighbor between other scenes from the Labor Day protest.
“This is a chaotic city,” co-host Brian Kilmeade said.
The next day, the clip of the neighbor appeared again on Fox News. This time, the network said the footage was from Wednesday, or Sept. 3.
In reality, the confrontation was captured on video months before. Daviscourt published the video on June 29 on X.
On the two September nights that Fox said the neighbor’s confrontation happened, ProPublica’s review found no videos of violent clashes posted on social media, and federal authorities announced no arrests.
For example, according to a Portland police email from 11:22 p.m. on Sept. 3: “There are still about 20 people hanging around but only 4 were even on the sidewalk in front of the building.”
Misrepresentations Continue After Trump’s Guard Order
On Sept. 28, the day Trump’s order was implemented, a Fox News broadcast played a clip of Kotek saying that Guard troops were not needed in Portland, then immediately cut to a clip of a hectic scene of protesters clashing with police.
“Wish she could see some of those images,” the anchor said. Sarcastically, as a co-anchor chuckled, she added: “Look at that. Just a peaceful protest.”
A small box on the screen showed the footage wasn’t from Oregon.
It was from Illinois.

Fox News platformed several of the participants of a White House roundtable on antifa in the weeks leading up to the event
In the weeks preceding the event, Portland footage captured by roundtable participants was featured on Fox's evening programming at least 31 times and the network interviewed them at least 12 times
Written by Jack Winstanley
Research contributions from Rob Savillo, Harrison Ray & Tyler Monroe
Published 10/24/25
New Media Matters data finds that in the roughly two weeks leading up to a White House roundtable discussion of antifa, Fox News interviewed and repeatedly ran b-roll footage of Portland anti-ICE protests captured by several of the right-wing influencers who attended the roundtable. This data underscores right-wing media’s ongoing campaign to cast the protests as violent while the Trump administration simultaneously takes actions against antifa and other protesters.
On October 8, the White House hosted a roundtable discussion focused on supposed threats posed by antifa, complete with testimony from a dozen right-wing media figures and online commentators who shared tales about the violence supposedly emerging from the left. Central to many of their talking points were the ongoing anti-ICE protests in Portland, Oregon, where the Trump administration has attempted to deploy 200 National Guard troops. The roundtable followed President Donald Trump’s issuance of an executive order designating antifa a “domestic terrorist organization” on September 22.
Right-wing media have repeatedly characterized the anti-ICE protests in Portland as violent. Several right-wing media figures and influencers have even gone to Portland, including some accompanying Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, as part of what Oregon Public Broadcasting described as the “deepening alliance between the administration and an online world willing to misrepresent facts if it means furthering political goals.”
The White House roundtable was populated with a dozen right-wing media figures and influencers
- The White House welcomed 12 right-wing media figures and online influencers for the October 8 roundtable, which also included Trump, Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi, FBI Director Kash Patel, and other high-level administration officials.
Many of these influencers have been in Portland during anti-ICE protests, with some covering the protests for right-wing media outlets or online shows. As reported by The Guardian, influencer Nick Sortor, who was among the roundtable attendees, “has been involved in multiple physical altercations with protesters in Portland this month, some of which he clearly initiated.”
The roundtable included:
- Jack Posobiec, host of Real America’s Voice’s Human Events Dailyand senior editor of Human Events.
- Andy Ngo, editor-at-large for right-wing online outlet The Post Millennial.
- Katie Daviscourt, a correspondent for The Post Millennial.
- Nick Sortor, a conservative influencer.
- Julio Rosas, a correspondent for Blaze Media.
- Savanah Hernandez, a former Infowars host and current Turning Point USA contributor.
- Cam Higby, a personality for Today is America who has also contributed to Turning Point USA’s Frontlines.
- Nick Shirley, a YouTuber.
- Jonathan Choe, a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute who has also reported for Turning Point USA's Frontlines.
- James Klug, a YouTuber.
- Brandi Kruse, a conservative podcaster.
- Seamus Bruner, the director of research at the Government Accountability Institute.
At least three of the outlets represented at the roundtable — Human Events, The Post Millennial, and Frontlines TPUSA — have since announced that they have joined the Department of Defense’s press corps after Pentagon reporters refused to agree to restrictive press policies.
- ## Fox used roundtable participants’ footage of Portland for b-roll in dozens of segments during the roughly two weeks before the roundtable
- Media Matters observed at least 31 segments about anti-ICE protests in Portland, Oregon, that aired during Fox News’ evening programming between September 22 (when Trump issued an executive order designating antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization”) and October 7 (the day before the roundtable) and featured b-roll from at least one of the roundtable participants.
Footage captured by The Post Millennial’s Katie Daviscourt appeared in 87% of the segments that featured b-roll from roundtable participants — 27 of 31 total segments — and footage attributed to Turning Point USA’s online show Frontlines appeared in nearly a third of qualifying segments.
Nick Shirley, a YouTuber who was present at the Portland protests, had b-roll footage appear in 2 segments. Footage from Brandi Kruse, who filmed a video documenting the two days she spent in Portland, appeared in 1 segment.

- ## Roundtable participants have repeatedly appeared on Fox News, with several appearing on the network during the roughly two weeks ahead of the roundtable
- Seven of the roundtable participants (Posobiec, Ngo, Sortor, Shirley, Choe, Daviscourt, and Klug) appeared on Fox News’ weekday programming in the weeks leading up to the roundtable for a collective total of 12 interviews between September 22 and October 7.
Several of these interviews focused on the Portland protests, with some roundtable participants characterizing the protests as violent and at least one participant calling for a more intense crackdown on protests from the Trump administration.
During a Fox interview on October 2, Shirley claimed there had been “lots of violence” at the protests and that he had been threatened with a gun. In a September 29 Fox News appearance, Choe claimed the protests were “causing chaos” for Portland. On October 6, Sortor argued on Hannity that the protests were “so hostile,” and “very, very aggressive.”

chamber pro free enterprise
Staff Writer | July 2, 2024 1:09 AM
COEUR d’ALENE — The Coeur d’Alene Regional Chamber on Monday reversed a new policy that banned religious symbols from its Fourth of July parade.
“The original policy was not meant to isolate individuals or be considered an anti-religious policy,” wrote Linda Coppess, chamber president and CEO in response to questions from The Press.
Under parade regulations adopted by the chamber board this year, “Symbols associated with specific political movements, religions, or ideologies” were unacceptable.
Coppess wrote that in the past, the chamber received numerous complaints about displays that people found offensive, including “Confederate flags, derogatory illustrations, harsh politically-based language, and graphic photographs.”
Coppess wrote that last year alone, she received over 50 complaints about different signage and symbols that were deemed offensive.
To address those concerns, the chamber consulted national organizations to ensure its guidelines were transparent and fair, she wrote.
“Our intention with this policy was simple: to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and respected,” Coppess wrote.
The chamber listed several other things as unacceptable for the parade, including signs promoting controversial political issues, displays containing divisive or inflammatory language related to political debates and signs displaying slogans or messages that incite political division or unrest.
“We admire that you are passionate about what you believe in, but this parade is NOT the platform for promoting individual beliefs,” it states on the chamber’s website under its “Signage Policy.”
But an outcry gained momentum over the weekend and after criticism, “misunderstandings and accusations," the board reconsidered and made “an exception for the religious symbols."
Coppess wrote that, “As a person of deep faith, the recent events and accusations have been especially heartbreaking.
“Our goal for the Fourth of July Parade is to create a celebration that honors our military, fosters family-friendly fun, and respects all attendees," she wrote. "This year, we introduced guidelines to ensure we honor America’s military and not open the door to offensive displays. While we understand the significance of various symbols, we intend to keep the parade welcoming for everyone.”
Paul Van Noy, president of the Kootenai County Ministerial Association and pastor of Candlelight Christian Fellowship church, said he was pleased religious symbols would be in the parade.
"Any and all religious symbols should be allowed,” he said.
Van Noy said the issue made its way to the attention of Speaker of the House Rep. Mike Johnson and Idaho Congressman Russ Fulcher.
Neither Johnson nor Fulcher could be reached for comment.
“Everybody should have their right to be represented faithfully and properly,” Van Noy said.
Acceptable signage for the parade includes slogans like “Happy Independence Day," messages promoting unity and togetherness, and signs honoring veterans, active-duty military personnel and first responders.
Other unacceptable signage included campaign materials promoting ballot measures or political initiatives; and any signage promoting political events or fundraisers and images or messages "that directly attack or antagonize individuals or groups based on their political beliefs or affiliations."
According to the chamber, failure to comply with its rules “will result in immediate removal from the parade,” but Coppess wrote they don’t expect that to be an issue since religious symbols are being allowed.
“We hope parade participants and attendees will gather to safely celebrate our nation’s birthday with kindness and good cheer," Coppess wrote.

The Post Millennial’s Katie Daviscourt was assaulted Tuesday night while reporting on violent anti-ICE demonstrations outside Portland’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility, in the latest attack on journalists covering the ongoing unrest.
Daviscourt was filming outside the ICE building when a female activist waving a Palestinian flag deliberately struck her in the face with the flagpole. The blow left Daviscourt with a visible black eye. The attack was captured on video as protesters once again clashed with federal officers during another night of rioting.
A bystander attempted to intervene, trying to wrestle the flag away from the assailant. Independent journalist C.K. Bouferrache, who was nearby, said the same woman had tried to attack her earlier in the evening. honeybadgermom
hassling students, i am scared clearly trolling for content karen i suggest you do not come closer
https://x.com/hunnybadgermom/highlights
“Katie Daviscourt was just assaulted a short time ago, by a female who’d attempted to assault me earlier,” Bouferrache wrote on X. “We tracked the female for blocks & then waited for police to come arrest her — which of course didn’t happen. We had to walk blocks to find the police. THIS IS A LAWLESS ZONE.”
Even after Daviscourt followed the suspect and flagged down a police officer, the officer failed to act.
A short time later, Daviscourt reported, "The suspect escaped into the Antifa safe house — an apartment unit near the ICE facility that has been harboring Antifa militants involved in the occupation — with the help of her comrades. Portland Police still refuse to make an arrest."
She added, "Portland Police will not be going in to make an arrest. Despite my effort in chasing the suspect down and tracking her. Officers say it’s too unsafe."
In July, Daviscourt reported that Department of Homeland Security agents raided the apartment unit outside the Portland ICE facility and made an arrest, after the person who leases the unit had been allowing Antifa to use it as a staging area.

:{:{The Post Millennial said in a statement posted to X, "On Sept 30, 2025, Post Millennial reporter Katie Daviscourt was violently assaulted by a far-left extremist while reporting on the ground in Portland. Katie was targeted simply for doing her job: documenting the reality of what is happening in the city and bringing the truth to the public. This assault is part of a disturbing pattern of harassment, intimidation, and violence carried out by far-left radicals against journalists who refuse to toe their ideological line. }:
Attacks on reporters are attacks on the free press itself, and this should concern all Americans, regardless of political affiliation. Katie has shown tremendous courage in continuing her work despite repeated threats and dangers. We stand firmly with her, and with every journalist committed to reporting the truth in the face of mob violence. We call on local officials, law enforcement, and national leaders to condemn this political violence unequivocally and to take action to ensure that journalists can do their jobs without fear of assault or intimidation. The Post Millennial will not be silenced. We will continue to report the facts, shine a light on extremism, and hold the powerful accountable."}:
The attack on Daviscourt follows a string of similar incidents targeting reporters at the Portland ICE facility, which has been the site of months of nightly unrest.
On Monday night, independent journalist Nick Shirley was confronted by a masked Antifa member who aggressively advanced on him, shouting, “get the fck out of here.” Shirley repeatedly tried to de-escalate, warning that he was being pushed into the road, but the man continued threatening him, saying, “If you come back, I’m gonna fcking smoke you dude. I’m gonna smash that f*cking camera.”
The escalating hostility toward journalists is occurring against the backdrop of federal investigations and security crackdowns at the site. Earlier this week, the FBI raided a Portland home tied to a suspect accused of pointing a high-powered laser at a Customs and Border Protection helicopter during Saturday’s protest.
Four illegal immigrants were taken into custody during the raid, and the laser was seized as evidence.
Portland’s ICE facility has been under siege since June 7, when Antifa-linked activists launched a round-the-clock occupation. Federal authorities have arrested at least 27 individuals on charges including assault on officers, arson, and property destruction.
Despite the growing violence, local officials have downplayed the crisis, even as journalists are assaulted in public and federal aircraft are targeted.
President Donald Trump has declared Antifa a domestic terrorist organization and deployed 200 National Guard troops to Portland to protect ICE facilities. Clashes between protesters, federal law enforcement, and ICE supporters have escalated in recent days.
Daviscourt, a frequent target of Antifa agitators for her reporting, has documented the Portland unrest extensively. Tuesday night’s attack underscores the increasing dangers faced by journalists covering extremist activity on the ground in Portland, as local law enforcement fails to protect them.

Right-wing influencers shape nation and Trump’s understanding of Portland protests
By Erik Neumann (OPB)
:{Oct. 11, 2025
Social media personalities, conservative media outlets and the Trump administration itself are blending online content to serve the administration’s policies.
Trump supporters face off with protesters outside a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland, Ore., Monday, Oct. 6, 2025.
Benny Johnson, a pro-Trump social media personality from Florida, announced to his followers on X that he had arrived.
“Yo, what’s up!” Johnson said Tuesday as he strolled into the airport. “We are on the ground in Portland, Oregon.”
Johnson was in town to meet with three other social media influencers and U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem to tour the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, where protests had been taking place since June.
“The Trump administration is here today. Follow along. The Trump administration ain’t gonna have any of this,” Johnson said. “This is going to be a rowdy day.”
From there, the influencers packed into SUVs and followed Noem, passing through police lines that had been established around the ICE facility and eventually behind its gates.
Standing on the building’s rooftop, Johnson and the other influencers filmed Noem for their millions of followers online. But the day was less than rowdy.
On the street below, around 20 reporters from local and national outlets stood behind yellow caution tape, along with a handful of protesters. It was a sunny fall day in Portland, far from the burning hellscape portrayed online.
Still, influencer Nick Sortor warned Noem that she wasn’t seeing the real story.
“This is absolutely nothing as to what it is at night though. It’s really bad at night,” Sortor said. “That sun goes down and it gets totally lawless.”
Social media personalities like those who joined Noem are increasingly shaping the public’s understanding of events in Portland, where the Trump administration has been trying to deploy the National Guard in recent weeks.
While partisan online posting about protests in the Northwest is nothing new, right-wing media influencers are now being welcomed into the federal government to promote its messages. This kind of media access shows a deepening alliance between the administration and an online world willing to misrepresent facts if it means furthering political goals.

The influencers’ personal content is blended with interviews on Fox News, Newsmax and other outlets, and reposted by federal agencies at times. Sortor and another media personality on the ICE tour, Katie Daviscourt, appeared on a panel at the White House on Wednesday with President Trump, where clips were similarly repurposed and spun out to broader conservative media.
Local media like OPB and The Oregonian/OregonLive have not been given the same access to the ICE building when they requested it. In response to requests to tour the ICE building, DHS officials have asked OPB – a century-old media organization that has covered newsworthy events at the protests since their earliest days - to share links to OPB coverage of the protests before considering access.
‘Counter-protesters themselves’
The current Trump administration is working with these influencers to justify the president’s actions, according to A.J. Bauer, an assistant professor who studies media activism in the University of Alabama’s journalism department.
“The streamers are actually counter-protesters themselves who are going and documenting the protests that they disagree with. The government is actually working hand-in-glove with those folks in order to promote the government’s message,” Bauer said. “That is a new development.”

There are many examples over the years of mainstream journalists embedding with the government to cover major events, like during the Vietnam or Iraq wars. But those reporters were largely free to be critical of the government.
Bauer said right-wing influencers don’t follow the journalistic norms of balance, independence and not personally participating in stories. Instead, he said, they start out with an ideological vision of the world and then narrate what they see in a way that fits that vision.
“The consequences are that we have two competing visions of reality,” Bauer said.
There have been almost nightly protests outside of Portland’s ICE facility for months. Since June, the Portland Police Bureau has made at least 47 arrests, and federal officials have arrested dozens more, though not everyone has been charged with a crime.
Still, the protests span just one or two city blocks. Many nights, there are fewer than two dozen people. Dancing and whimsical costumes have been a frequent protest tactic since the Trump administration has expressed a desire to send in military troops to suppress the demonstrations.

But these influencers tell a story that chaos is rampant. And now, they are having the biggest impact possible by shaping how President Trump views the protests. They repeated a vision of Portland to him at a White House roundtable on Wednesday that many residents wouldn’t recognize.
“The amazing thing is you look at Portland and you see fires all over the place. You see fights. I mean, violence, it’s so crazy,” Trump said during the televised round table. “And then you talk to the governor and she acts like everything is totally normal. It’s almost like, are you waking up from a dream or something?”
A history of clashes
Right wing presence at protests in Portland is not a new phenomenon.
During the president’s first term, counter-protesters were a regular presence in the Rose City when residents and left-aligned demonstrators took to the streets. Provocateurs like Joey Gibson would frequently show up at protests between 2015 and 2020 to film and engage in conflicts with what they described as antifa mobs.
At times, those provocations turned violent, with people being shoved, maimed and even killed as dueling political factions took to the streets.

Those protests also launched the careers of streamers and media personalities who focused on the conflict with a particular political view, such as Andy Ngo, a former Portland resident who now edits for the Canadian conservative outlet the Post Millennial.
With around 1.7 million X followers, Ngo is an influential voice on the right who appeared at Wednesday’s roundtable with President Trump. He also helped pave the way for the people aligning with the Trump administration against the current Portland protests. That includes Daviscourt, who brands herself on X as an investigative reporter for the Post Millennial.
While activists like Gibson have appeared at the protests outside the ICE building in recent days, the content being produced by the streamers is not restrained to their own feeds and fans, as it largely was during the first Trump administration.
On Thursday, Ngo made a post to his X account warning of an impending attack on federal law enforcement.
“Antifa in Portland have been plastering flyers around the city urging people to try and crash the DHS helicopter flying over ICE,” Ngo wrote just before 9 p.m., sharing an image of a flyer with lasers pointing at a helicopter.
Around three hours later, DHS posted a similar version of the flyer to its X account.
“Antifa domestic terrorists WILL NOT overrun our cities,” the post stated.
Facts on the ground
Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, Portland Mayor Keith Wilson and most other state officials have rejected the need for the Trump administration to send the National Guard to the city. But their views seem to have little influence on the White House’s stated plans and rhetoric.

On a recent night outside the ICE facility, conservative podcaster Matt Tardio was live-streaming the Portland protests. Tardio said he’s trying to capture everything that’s going on, not just the clashes between protesters and police.
“I do know that I’ve caught some coming-up streamers or whatever they were, legitimately trying to start problems and having hidden cameramen off to the side trying to capture those problems starting so that they could have their viral clips,” Tardio said. “That’s messed up.”
Tardio, who is a veteran, agrees that the situation on the ground is being exaggerated online.
“I can’t tell you the amount of times I’ve said I don’t think the National Guard needs to come out here. I feel that the Portland Police Bureau can handle it,” he said.
But that hasn’t stopped other influencers from repeating the story about a war-ravaged city that gets amplified by Trump officials and repackaged across the media ecosystem.

Portland's anti-ICE protests have become a magnet for MAGA influencers
Right-wing influencers and media figures have flocked to Portland, helping bring national and Trump administration attention to ICE protests in the city.

By David Ingram and Jo Yurcaba
PORTLAND, Ore. — Within a week, Nick Sortor experienced the lows and highs of being a MAGA influencer.
Last Thursday, Sortor was jailed in Portland after police arrested him on suspicion of disorderly conduct. A fan of President Donald Trump with 1.2 million followers on X, he had traveled to Oregon’s largest city to document the protest scene outside an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility. Police said he was involved in an altercation with demonstrators but was ultimately not charged.
But six days later, Sortor was back on the upswing: By Wednesday, he was sitting at the White House just a few feet away from Trump, as he and other conservative media figures were invited to participate in a roundtable discussion about the anti-ICE activity they had seen in Portland.
“It was not fun sitting in that jail, but I’m glad to see what has come of it,” Sortor, 27, told Trump during the livestreamed event.
The roundtable was a unifying moment for the alternative, right-wing media ecosystem that is helping shape perceptions of protests against Trump’s mass deportation campaign, showing how the MAGA influencers and the Trump administration are playing off one another in response to anti-ICE protests around the country.
Right-wing podcasters, writers and pundits are flocking to Democratic deep-blue cities to document the scene for their massive audiences but also, in some cases such as Portland, to spar with left-wing demonstrators. Their presence has been praised by the Trump administration and criticized by police for escalating tensions.

A poll last month from The New York Times and Siena University showed voters deeply divided on the immigration crackdown, with a slim majority, 52%, saying they disapprove of Trump’s handling of immigration and 46% saying they approve. The poll showed 51% believe Trump’s immigration actions have “gone too far,” 35% say they have been “about right” and 12% say they have “not gone far enough.”
At least a dozen out-of-town conservative journalists and influencers were on the ground in Portland in recent days, according to interviews with some of them and posts on social media.
“This is now a full-blown information war that we’re in, so being on the front lines is more important than ever,” said Jonathan Choe, who traveled from Seattle to Portland for Frontlines, a project of the conservative advocacy group Turning Point USA. Choe spoke by phone on Tuesday, a day before taking part in the White House event, with Sortor.
Sortor, whose profile on X says he’s based in Texas and Washington, D.C., did not respond to requests for comment.
In Portland, anti-ICE protests have taken place nearly daily since June, largely confined to a block outside the ICE facility, about two miles south of downtown. The facility, where ICE agents bring people who’ve been arrested and are awaiting processing, was also the site of protests in 2018.
Activists and police say the crowd size and the intensity of the protests in Portland have grown in recent weeks, following Trump’s Sept. 27 announcement that he wants to send in National Guard troops with “full force” and as more influencers have arrived. The crowd sometimes has a circus-like atmosphere, including one anti-ICE regular who wears an inflatable frog costume.
While federal agents protect the ICE facility itself, local police patrol the nearby streets. Portland police say they’ve arrested more than 40 people in the protest area since June, including one man who jumped into the nearby Willamette River on Tuesday night, after police say he stole a tripod from the protest area. Additionally, federal prosecutors say they’ve charged 31 people for federal offenses at the ICE facility, including assaults on officers.
Portland police say that some of the self-described journalists appearing outside the ICE facility are acting more like counterprotesters. In an email made public last week as part of Oregon and Portland’s lawsuit against the Trump administration, Sgt. Andrew Braun named three right-wing journalists or activists who he said were victims as well as a chronic source of emergency calls.
“Despite repeated advice from officers to stay away from the ICE crowd, they constantly return and antagonize the protesters until they are assaulted or pepper sprayed. They refuse or are reluctant to walk away from these confrontations, even when police are in the area trying to meet with them. They even engage in the same trespassing behavior on federal and trolley property as the main protesters,” Braun wrote in the Sept. 21 email.
Among those named was Katie Daviscourt, a writer for The Post Millennial. Daviscourt, who had traveled to Portland from Seattle, fired back on X, disputing the characterization.
“I am beyond pissed. Anyone who knows me, knows that I stand by myself, I am non violent, never approach the crowd, and quietly film,” she wrote. “I cannot wait to see the DOJ absolutely CRUSH this agency,” she added, referring to the Portland police. She did not respond to a request for comment.
Daviscourt said she was hit in the face at a protest last week and was bruised. Police said they were searching for a suspect. Daviscourt was also among the conservative media figures at the White House on Wednesday.
Mike Benner, a spokesperson for the Portland Police Bureau, said the bureau, unlike police in some other cities, does not have a credentialing process for members of the media.
“We recognize the changing landscape of journalism and respect the rights of both traditional and independent journalists to document events,” he said in an email. “We ask all individuals — regardless of media status — to comply with lawful orders and avoid interfering with law enforcement operations.”
Portland Police Chief Bob Day said in a news conference Tuesday that tensions near the ICE facility had risen due to the “influence of social media” and national attention. And in an interview on Monday with Fox News’ streaming service, he criticized influencers’ focus on getting views.

“Their reach is obviously very significant, and so they’re going where they can get the views and create the perception. And our belief is that we are simply managing to the rule of law,” he said.
But the ascendant MAGA influencers have the ears of Trump Cabinet members: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem met some of them in person Tuesday during a trip to Portland, and on Wednesday, Noem, Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel joined the White House roundtable. At one point during the event, Trump directed Sortor and Bondi to confer about a possible investigation related to one of his videos.
Sortor said on X that he was acting in self-defense prior to his arrest. The Portland-area district attorney’s office declined to charge him with disorderly conduct, saying in a statement that while it believed police had probable cause to arrest him, it did not believe the crime could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Two anti-ICE protesters who were arrested at the same time are now facing criminal charges.
Accounts of the protests in conservative media often emphasize what they see as the rectitude of ICE’s operations, criticizing those who disagree. These accounts often include shaky video taken at night of protesters and counterprotesters facing off. It’s often close-in footage that lacks perspective on the size of the unrest. MAGA influencers also provide steady content for television networks like Fox News, where some of them have appeared for interviews.
At one point, Trump expressed confusion about the true nature of the situation in Portland, telling NBC News in a phone interview on Sept. 28 that he was getting conflicting accounts.
“I spoke to the governor. She was very nice,” Trump said. “But I said, ‘Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what’s happening? My people tell me different.’ They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place.”
At Wednesday’s roundtable, Trump praised Daviscourt and Sortor, saying he watched a video of Sortor and sent him a note. On X, Sortor said that Trump wrote, “Nick, I saw you on television. Great job. We are behind you 100%. Let us know if there is anything we can do… President DJT”
The influencers descending on Portland fall along a spectrum, with some closer to the role of traditional journalists than others. Choe, the Frontlines reporter, who previously worked in local TV news, said he’s been one of three Frontlines reporters who have been tag-teaming coverage in recent days, posting videos on a common account on X. He’s a Trump supporter and has cheered on Sortor, but he said he personally sticks to reporting facts on the ground.
Some of the MAGA influencers are with established conservative media outlets such as The Post Millennial or The Blaze, while many others are independent. On Tuesday, the gaggle included Florida-based podcaster Benny Johnson, who has nearly 6 million subscribers on YouTube and who flew in to Portland to report on Noem’s visit.
A White House spokesperson, Abigail Jackson, praised the cadre of right-wing influencers and journalists in a statement, saying: “The White House applauds all journalists who are willing [to] blaze their own trail to report the facts rather than go along with the Fake News Groupthink. The situation in Portland is a prime example.”
But some conservative media figures aren’t in Portland only to broadcast and document.
Some MAGA influencers have initiated confrontations with protesters who have set up camp on public sidewalks, walking through their tents and set-ups and interfering with protests.
Matt Tardio, a podcaster, has posted on X about wanting to “parlay with ANTIFA” alongside Sortor and hold a “PATRIOT MARCH” through a camp of protesters on a sidewalk near the ICE facility. He did not respond to a request for comment.
Sortor has repeatedly confronted anti-ICE protesters in Portland, according to videos that he and other influencers have posted on X.
“I’m going to walk through. I want to give a tour of the camp,” he says in one video, just before he advances into a tent carrying an American flag on a pole. As a protestor stands in his way on a public sidewalk, he responds, “Unfortunately, I’m going. Get out of the way. Get out of the way.”
In another video, he steps in and seizes an American flag that protesters had set on fire. On Wednesday, he brought the flag to the White House and showed it to Trump, who suggested the possibility of a flag-burning investigation. (The Supreme Court ruled in 1989 that flag-burning is generally protected speech under the First Amendment. Trump said Monday that he disagrees and believes that flag-burning is a form of incitement to violence — an idea that the 1989 court explicitly rejected.)
Sortor was best known for commentary regarding Maui wildfires in 2023, for which he was criticized for allegedly politicizing the response, including by actor Dwayne Johnson, who called Sortor’s work “toxic, false clickbait garbage.” Sortor replied to Johnson at the time, saying he was focused on getting the government to provide more aid to Maui and was willing to work together.
Since at least 2017, Portland has been a recurring backdrop for street standoffs that pit the far right against self-described antifascist demonstrators clad in black clothing. Conservative writer Andy Ngo was beaten up at one rally in 2019 and now describes himself on X as a Portland refugee in London. He still frequently posts about his former city and was also at the White House event on Wednesday.
For this round of protests, there’s no comparable group of out-of-town left-wing influencers who have traveled to Portland, although local independent journalists have documented the protests on sites such as TikTok and Bluesky.
Julio Rosas, a national correspondent for The Blaze, a conservative media outlet, said there’s a bond among the right-wing influencers and journalists who’ve parachuted into Portland. He was there in 2021 capturing video of Black Lives Matter protests and this year he has taken two reporting trips to the city, including one within the past few days. He said he considers Sortor a friend and “a great patriot.”
“We’re often out there on our own. We’re independent or come from companies with much smaller budgets than other places,” he said. “It’s good to have someone to watch your back.”
But he said he doesn’t relish the assignment in Portland.
“Who wants to spend hours outside where people are angry?” Rosas said.

Antifa Destroys Reporter’s Car, as Alleged Jury Intimidation Clears Antifa Thugs in Andy Ngo Assault Trial
'Why are you avoiding the elevator with us? Step inside... '
Posted by
Jacob Bruns
August 9, 2023
(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Antifa rioters destroyed a Post Millennial reporter’s car at the courthouse where she was covering the verdict to a case involving one of the outlet’s reporters who was suing the domestic terror group.
Andy Ngo, a senior editor and investigative reporter with the Post Millennial, had brought a civil case against Rose City Antifa and its alleged members.
Over the course of trial, Ngo presented an overwhelming amount of physical evidence and testimony to support his case, which accused the alleged Antifa members of assault, battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress. The case included evidence of Antifa “doxxes” identifying Ngo, which led to a well-documented series of physical beatings on May 28, 2021.
The jury on Tuesday shocked legal pundits and analysts when it found the defendants not liable in the civil case brought against them.
After the defendants’ attorney “admitted that the ‘black clad people’ that had physically beaten Ngo were, in fact, ‘terrorists,'” she proudly declared, “I am Antifa” and told the jurors that she would remember each of their faces, Post Millennial reported.
“It’s truly remarkable the amount of evidence that the jury must have discounted,” attorney Eric Sell told Fox News. “It really leads to the conclusion that jury intimidation was a factor here.”
The intimidation reportedly extended beyond the courtroom.
Katie Daviscourt, the reporter who was covering the Ngo, returned to her car after attending the court session to find it vandalized by the far-left thugs.
“After I left the courthouse where I was reporting on @MrAndyNgo’s trial against Antifa, I found that my car was broken into by my hotel. The windows were busted out, items were stolen, and personal identification documents were taken—I’m obviously upset” Daviscourt tweeted.
She later noted that personal identification documents were also stolen from the vehicle. The shocking incident was not Daviscourt’s first encounter with Antifa that day.
The two defendants in the case allegedly harassed and intimated Daviscourt when they encountered her at a courthouse elevator and began calling her derogatory names.
“Join us in the elevator,” they reportedly said.
“Why are you avoiding the elevator with us? Step inside,” they continued, giving Daviscourt what she called a “death glare” as they called her a “fascist,” to which they are antithetical.
The Antifa treatment was not new to Daviscourt, who was attacked on camera by Antifa.

Journalist Katie Daviscourt appeared on Fox News with a black eye on Wednesday after she was assaulted by a masked “Antifa-affiliated protester” in Portland.
“Wow, that is quite a shiner. Are you all right?” asked Fox News host Jesse Watters.
“Oh yeah, I definitely have a black eye,” she replied. “That’s what it’s been like covering Portland for the past four months. Complete lawlessness.”
Daviscourt told Watters there were now “several blocks” in Portland which were “completely controlled by Antifa-affiliated protesters who harass, assault, and threaten anyone who they perceive to be a threat to their cause, including journalists, local residents, and ICE agents,” with local police refusing to maintain law and order in the area.
“The Trump administration is absolutely correct in deploying federal troops here because Portland Police has completely abandoned this zone. They refuse to go in and everyone that shows up is on their own,” she said:
Last night, I got assaulted and I immediately ran to a Portland Police officer, hunted down the suspect, chased her through the streets and said, “This is my assault suspect, can you guys finally do something?” and I had eyes on her for about 35 minutes– Portland Police refused to come in and make an arrest and I had three officers just standing there, watching me try to hunt down the suspect. And imagine my anger when I go online, after doing all that about an hour ago, and I see Portland Police put out a BOLO asking for the public’s help in identifying my assault suspect. So that is what it’s like on the ground here in Portland, and it’s time for a federal crackdown. The Trump administration needs to start treating Antifa like ISIS, the terrorists that they are, and put an end to them here for good.
During a separate interview with Real America’s Voice host Jack Posobiec, Daviscourt explained that she was hit with a large flag pole in the face by her attacker.
“This Antifa-affiliated subject just started approaching me and waving a flag pole in my face, and then I kind of turn around and that’s when she swung it like a baseball bat and directly hit my eye,” Daviscourt recalled.
Posobiec responded, “So she was trying to blind you. She was actually trying to blind you, and you know, a flag pole like that to the ocular socket, I mean, your brain is right there. There are serious– very, very serious injuries that could happen, and look, I’m sitting here in the Charlie Kirk studio. We all know how serious these things can get.”
Portland Police put out a press release asking for help identifying the suspect in Daviscourt’s assault on Wednesday.
However, the police department denied Daviscourt’s claim that they refused to assist following the incident.
Portland Police claimed that upon being flagged down by Daviscourt, one of its Dialogue Liaison Officers “followed the suspect north on South Moody Avenue while calling in additional police resources.”
“The Dialogue Officer attempted to talk to the suspect to hear her side of the story. She would not stop, so the DLO told her she was being detained. She refused the lawful police order to stop and she fled,” the police department said in its press release. “At 8:59 p.m., patrol officers met the victim and began an investigation. They documented the incident and the case is now assigned to a detective in the Major Crimes Unit.”
The state of Oregon filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump on Sunday after the president announced he would send the National Guard to Portland to ensure public safety amid violent protests.
“At the request of Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, I am directing Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists,” Trump declared. “I am also authorizing Full Force, if necessary.”

The incredible disappearing black eye of Katie Daviscourt

If ever there was a reason to doubt all the fantastic and chronologically inconsistent claims by Katie Daviscourt, her magical black eye is a big red flag.
The other day, we shared claims on social media that Daviscourt and Fox News applied an AI injury filterto back up claims of her assault by an "antifa" member. The clips are very suspect. Now it appears that Daviscourt's black eye disappeared moments after her testimony at the Orange Menace's "roundtable on Antifa violence."
Images via Social Media
In yet another "Sure, Jan" moment, during the round table, Daviscourt shared stories of her personal battle against "antifa" and described her own heroic actions in defending the United States from a group that does not exist.

Social Media is pointing out that a "journalist" claiming to have been "assaulted" by "antifa" in Portland's black eye looks like an AI injury simulation filter was used.
An additional message in the thread shows analysis by AI on the video, claiming that it does appear to be altered. Folks find the woman's eyebrow movements, as well as changing eye color, to be telltale signs of a filter.
There is also a video that claims to show the "assault," and it appears to be someone innocently waving a flag.
Here is the video direct from Fox via YouTube. You make the call!
